Statement of Purpose on Engineering

My interest in Mechanical Engineering is not new-fangled. When mechanics as a subject was introduced to me in the initial stages of my education, I instantly gained interest in it and it drove me to pursue my baccalaureate in mechanical engineering, and which turned out to be one of the finest decisions I made, as mechanical engineering is all about applying engineering, physics, and materials science principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems, which I loved all along. This also reinforced my desire to gain more sophisticated understanding of the subject after graduation. I feel privileged to have received stellar academic nurturing during my formative years. This gets abundantly reflected from my excellent and consistent performance all along. I had completed my SSC from Bhasyam Public School, India in 2011 and had secured 91.1% marks. Next, I had joined Sri Chaitamya Junior College under Board of Intermediate Education, AP for intermediate studies. In 2013, I passed the final exams with 91.7% marks. Clearing the engineering joint entrance examination was a breeze for me as I have never shied away from persevering. Subsequently, I took admission in B.Tech (Mechanical) at R.V.R. & J.C. College of Engineering, Guntur under Acharya Nagarjuna University. The four years academic span successfully drew to a close in 2017 with me scoring a CGPA of 7.69.

Although I believe that at this stage in my life that it is premature to have defined, long-reaching goals, I have set and achieved several short-term goals, all in keeping within my belief in the philosophy that knowledge for its own sake is fascinating and worthy of pursuit. I have found that as I learn more and more about the world around me, new venues open and new goals manifest, giving me new frontiers to explore. I am currently interested in computer science and have set a goal to pursue a degree in Engineering. As with many of the other goals that I set and achieved in the past, the most major influence on this goal is the fact that I have been home-schooled for most of my education. This opportunity has allowed me to consistently dedicate much more time to extracurricular activities and other personal projects than otherwise.

I am applying to the Master’s program at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Electrical and Computer Engineering with specialization in Control Systems. Alongside the coursework, I look forward to doing worthwhile research in “Control Systems” to lay the foundations for my doctoral study in the field. My interest in this direction happened to shape from the turn of events that marked my life from childhood.

I am most proud that I have obtained my Bachelor’s degree through 4 years of dedicated academic efforts at University of Petroleum and Energy Studies at Dehradun, which is one of the premier institutes in India. What made me even more proud of myself is the good scholastic performance that I accomplished. During the undergraduate program, I also won the Best Technical Paper award for presenting a paper on "Nanotechnology

Since my school days, I was always curious about how automated gadgets and devices work. Various TV programs gave me some insight into the world of electronics. Vocational electronics course in my higher secondary education acquainted me to the basics of electronics. After starting my undergraduate course in electronics and tele-communication engineering, basic courses like ‘Basic Electronics Engineering’, ‘Solid State Devices and Circuits’ and ‘Digital Logic Design’ gave me a deeper understanding of the building blocks of electronics like diodes, transistors and ICs. Not only did these courses managed to partially sate this curiosity that I had since my childhood, but also inspired me to explore the world of electronics further.

“Did I win? Did I lose? Those are the wrong questions. The correct question is: Did I make my best effort?” If so, he says, “You may be outscored but you will never lose.”

Living just for existence has never been the objective of my life. I have always looked forward to get the best out of life. The desire to be fully satisfied with my work led me to take admission in one of the best Universities, .After completing my post- graduation I intend to pursue an Electrical cum Software oriented career to strengthen my ultimate professional ambition.

Since my childhood days, I had a strong penchant to be an Engineer. I was amazed by the working of computers s when I used it for the first time during my school days. My journey in the field of computing started with 'C ' programming and going forward I chose Computer Science in my pre-university as my major subject. High academic results in the pre-university helped me secure an admission in the well-known BNM Institute of Technology, one of highly sought after institutes affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University with Information Science as my specialization. I would not hesitate to say that I have spent the best years

I take this opportunity to introduce myself as a final year undergraduate student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering from SASTRA University, an elite university which is always among the top 50 engineering universities of India. As a child I enjoyed playing with hot wheels cars and grew up using remote controlled cars. I was always fascinated in understanding their mechanisms as I wanted them to go faster and faster. My interest for electronics had its first footing from these experiences. Electronics in particular interested me a lot with its presence in every aspect of our daily life. With interest in electronics, during high school years I constructed logic gates and started making small toys using batteries and motors. With such fascination for electronics I

From my schooling times, I have shown very keen interest in the subjects of mathematics and physics, which have enhanced my analytical and quantitative skills. These are my areas of strength which have helped me very

‘It is when I struggle that I strengthen. It is when challenged to my core that I learn the depth of who I am.’ I kept on repeating this to myself waiting for my campus interview in the final year. Sitting there with fervor, I entered the room with utmost confidence. The whole interview was not just technical but challenged my grit, determination and presence of mind. And after coming out of the interview, I just knew I had grabbed the opportunity. That day taught me; challenges can make you or break you; it all depends on you.

I am in pursuit of a life where the education I choose lets me explore the wealth of knowledge and wisdom. I strongly recognize that manufacturing engineering is the domain where my purpose and passion mingle. It is my earnest belief that the education in manufacturing engineering that I have received until now has helped me to grasp the fundamental principles of the subject. This knowledge, when coupled with dedicated master’s study would be the ideal preparation for a career in applied research or academics in the manufacturing industry, a vast field of science from developing new materials to manufacture an aircraft. After giving a visit to an Aero India Show last year in Bangalore has, developed a curiosity in me to know the manufacturing world of an aerospace industry. It is for this reason that I wish to pursue a Masters course in Aerospace Engineering in the “Aerospace Structures and Materials track” from Delft University of Technology.

An inkling for my predisposition towards tasks involving intricate calculations, progressive analysis in fields of Physical Sciences and Mathematics can be traced back to my senior secondary days when I was rigorously preparing for the Joint Entrance Examinations for Engineering from 2010-2012. It is imperative to note that I draw immense inspiration from my father, an architect who indispensably enabled me to appreciate the concept of design and structure. A commendable academic record complements my research work. I secured a 10 CGPA in my Secondary Examination and was among the top 5 students of my school to have been selected for the CSIR program. In my Senior Secondary Examinations, I secured 88% (PCM-90.6%) and a 74.63 SPI in my

This essay enlightens my academic and professional accomplishments. It also sheds light on my career objectives and the motivation to pursue the postgraduate program in Electrical Engineering at the Edith Cowan University, Perth.

I deem it as a golden opportunity to describe myself and my vision through this statement of purpose. As Elenor Roosevelt said “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” It is my dreamed ambition to pursue postgraduate education in the evergreen field of Engineering in your esteemed university.
